Board Member of the Month - February 2018

Congratulations to our February Board Members of the Month, also known as our amazing Public Service team. Please help me congratulate Jesse Barnett, Michelle McCain, and Chris Petrawski (not pictured).

Jesse, Michelle and Chris took home the prestigious BMOTM baskets this month thanks to months of tireless hard work!

This year Element Ad 2, the public service pro-bono advertising agency, partnered with local nonprofit, Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, to create the "Be Her First Step" campaign. The idea stemmed from the insight that in order stop domestic violence, you must first learn about it. Domestic violence is a huge issue in our community that affects women and children of all backgrounds, and it's not just physical abuse - it's verbal, spiritual, financial, etc. Through the television and social ads directing viewers to the Genesis website and first-ever blog, we'll be providing Dallas with the educational tools they need to fight domestic violence - allowing them to be her first step toward a better life.

Jesse Barnett graduated Summa Cum Laude from Louisiana State University and is currently an Account Manager at BBDO Worldwide. Michelle McCain received her Bachelor's Degree in Strategic Communications and Spanish from Texas Christian University and is a Brand Manager at The Richards Group. Chris Petrawski is the Marketing and Communications Manager for the Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business at the University of Dallas. Chris has his Masters Degree in Marketing from The University of Texas at Dallas.
